history

Until the church is planted

At the source of the Grüner Bach there is a cult site from prehistoric times , a boulder from Nagelfluh with clearly recognizable prehistoric enclosures.

The Roman-era road from Bregenz to Cambodunum ran through Grünenbach and was an important link for imports from the Mediterranean into the foothills of the Alps (for olive oil, wine, fish sauce, olives).

Until the beginning of the 19th century, the area of ​​today's municipality of Grünenbach belonged to three different territories:

  • Grünenbach with Heimhofen and Au: belonged to Austria, rule Bregenz , court Grünenbach .
  • Schönau with Schneit, Motzgatsried and Laubenberg: formed the Laubenberg rule . The feudal sovereignty over the rule changed at an unknown point in time from the Prince Abbey of St. Gallen to Austria. The rule belonged to the canton of Hegau-Allgäu-Bodensee of the Imperial Knights' Circle of Swabia . Until 1647 the von Laubenberg family and then the Pappus von Tratzberg family owned the estate .
  • Ebratshofen with Schüttentobel, Hohenegg, Oberried, Unterried, Bischlecht, Steig, Gerstland and Horsrenberg: belonged to Austria, rule Bregenz , court Hohenegg. The Hohenegg court consisted of the former Hohenegg lordship , which was a fiefdom of the Kempten Abbey and was united in 1359 with the then Montfort County of Bregenz. In 1451 the Hoheneggian area of ​​Montfort came to Austria. In contrast to the other areas of the Austrian rule of Bregenz (also called "Herrschaft Bregenz-Hohenegg"), the Hohenegg court always retained a certain special status.

At the beginning of the 19th century the areas came under the Kingdom of Bavaria . With the community edict of 1818 , the three modern communities Grünenbach, Schönau and Ebratshofen were created.

Incorporations

In 1860 Schönau was incorporated into Grünenbach, and on April 1, 1972, the previously independent municipality of Ebratshofen was incorporated into Grünenbach.
